  15. After many, many release date delays and re-shuffles, the universe has decided there can, officially, be carnage. Venom: Let There Be Carnage has arrived, following up on Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) and the head-chomping alien he shares a body with after their origin story in 2018's Venom. This time around, Andy Serkis is in the director's chair, and Woody Harrelson's Cletus Kasady has been unleashed with a brand new wig and the homicidal symbiote known as Carnage inside of him. The hype, as they say, is real, but thanks to the extremely confusing, notably un-chill times we're living in, it can get a little confusing as to how exactly we're supposed to watch 2021's biggest new releases. We've got you covered. Here is your complete guide to watching Venom: Let There Be Carnageright now: Is 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' Playing In Theaters? It is, finally. The road to Venom: Let There Be Carnage actually hitting the big screen has been a pretty wild one. Originally set to premiere on October 2, 2020, the film was delayed several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting to June 5, 2021, then September 17, then September 24, then October 15, before the success of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings inspired Sony to push Let There Be Carnage up to October 1. So, long story short, you can currently go see Venom: Let There Be Carnage right now in a movie theater. And after that first weekend box office, you can bet it's probably going to stay in theaters for a while. Of course, as the pandemic is still sticking around, make sure to check your local safety precautions carefully before buying a ticket. Is 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage' Streaming Anywhere? Unfortunately, no. The only way to watch Venom: Let There Be Carnage right now is at a movie theater. The 2021 initiative taken by Warner Bros. to drop all its blockbusters on HBO Max, coupled with Black Widow's debut on Disney+ Premiere Access, really got audiences accustomed to the option of watching new movies at home. But more and more, buoyed by the relative success of films like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings—plus vaccines becoming more readily available—studios are releasing tentpoles exclusively in theaters once again. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is no different. As to where Let There Be Carnage will, eventually, be streaming? Also a complicated question. Back in April, Disney and Sony reached a pretty massive deal that ensured Sony's Marvel content—including everything under the studio's loosely defined universe of Spider-Man-related characters, like Venom—would stream on Disney-owned streamers like Disney+ and Hulu, but only after an exclusive stay on Netflix. Is 'Venom' (2018) Streaming? The original Venom, directed by Ruben Fleischer, is only available to stream for free to anyone subscribed to DirectTV. Otherwise, Venom is available to rent on Amazon or Vudu for $2.99, or Apple TV, Youtube, and Redbox for $3.99. If you simply must get your Tom Hardy fix and don't feel like renting, here are all the actor's movies you can stream right now, broken down by streaming service: HBO MAX Mad Max: Fury Road The Dark Knight Rises Dunkirk Amazon Prime Bronson Capone Peacock Warrior Hulu This Means War What Marvel Movies Are Streaming Right Now? Image via Sony Pictures Listen, maybe you just want to watch a Marvel movie, any Marvel movie, right this dang second, and that's fair. Whether or not you decide to go see Venom: Let There Be Carnage, these are all of the Marvel movies you could just stream right now, broken down by streaming service: Disney+ Iron Man Iron Man 2 Thor Captain America: The First Avenger Avengers Iron Man 3 Thor: The Dark World Captain America: The Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy Avengers: Age of Ultron Ant-Man Civil War Doctor Strange Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 Thor: Ragnarok Black Panther Avengers: Infinity War Ant-Man and The Wasp Captain Marvel Avengers: Endgame Fantastic Four (2005) Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Fantastic Four (2015) Starz Spider-Man Spider-Man 2 Spider-Man 3 The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man 2
  16. With Aharon Keshales’ South of Heaven now playing in select theaters and available On-Demand and Digital, I recently caught up with Evangeline Lilly to talk about being part of the indie crime thriller where she stars opposite Jason Sudeikis. While I’ll have the full conversation online this weekend, today I wanted to share what she had to say about Marvel and the MCU. If you didn’t know, director Peyton Reed is currently filming the next Ant-Man sequel, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, in London and the cast is made up of Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas and Michelle Pfeiffer and they are reprising their roles of Scott Lang, Hope Van Dyne, and Janet Van Dyne, respectively. Joining them is Jonathan Majors as Marvel villain Kang the Conqueror. In a bit of surprising news, Kevin Feige revealed Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies, Freaky) would play Cassie Lang, Scott's daughter. Why this is a bit of interesting casting news is MCU fans have already met Cassie as a young girl (Abby Ryder Fortson) in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp, and as a grown-up (Emma Furhmann) in Avengers: Endgame. Cassie was introduced as an adult when Scott (Rudd) emerged from the Quantum Realm years after Thanos snapped the Infinity Gauntlet in Avengers: Infinity War, making for an emotional reunion early in the movie. It's still unclear how the recasting will be explained in Quantumania but I’m sure it will make sense by the time the film ends. Image via Marvel Anyway, while Evangeline Lilly was very careful about saying anything about the Ant-Man 3plot, she did praise screenwriter Jeff Loveness’ (Rick and Morty) script saying: “I think he is phenomenal. I think he's one of the best writers we've ever had. I think he's got an incredible mastery of voice. So, on the page, I could hear all the characters, and I knew that he'd really kind of harnessed each person's unique personality. I just think that it's going to be really special. I actually think it has the chance to be the best one we've done yet.” In addition, even though she revealed she hasn’t been able to keep up with everything Marvel has been releasing which includes her episode of What If
?, she did talk about her love of WandaVision and Loki. Regarding WandaVision, Lilly said: “I think WandaVision was phenomenal, and I think it was probably the best they've ever represented a female character. It was so incredible to see her be so complicated and so flawed and yet so redeemable and so lovable, the way we have typically historically treated our male characters. I think it was an epic female protagonist story.” With Loki, the thing she couldn’t believe was that Marvel introduced chaos theory. “The science geek in me loves that element of how smart they are and how they tackle such enormous topics that most kind of fluff popcorn movies are not going to tackle. They tackled chaos theory. That's really brave and really bold and really cool.” Watch what Evangeline Lilly had to say in the player above or you can read the transcript below. Look for our full conversation this weekend. COLLIDER: As you can tell by certain things that are behind me, I am a little bit of a Marvel fan. And I really do want to ask you if you can tease anything about the Ant-Man movie that I believe you might be filming. EVANGELINE LILLY: I can tease that I am currently filming Quantumania. And I can tease nothing else for you, lest I die. Can I at least ask you, what was your reaction after reading the script? LILLY: I would be happy to. I was so stoked on the script. Jeff Loveness is our new writer for the film. And we've never worked with him before. I think he is phenomenal. I think he's one of the best writers we've ever had. I think he's got an incredible mastery of voice. So on the page, I could hear all the characters, and I knew that he'd really kind of harnessed each person's unique personality. I just think that it's going to be really special. I think it's going to be really good. I actually think it has the chance to be the best one we've done yet. RELATED: Exclusive: ‘South Of Heaven’ Trailer Shows A Dark Turn For Jason Sudeikis I cannot wait. My last thing for you. Do you actually pay attention to all the other
 LILLY: No, I just love the genuine enthusiasm. I can feel it. Oh yeah, I actually really care about this stuff. But I'm curious, do you actually watch all the other Marvel things, the animation? I know you did What If
? Are you watching all this, to sort of make sure that you're in the loop as you understand everything that's going on? Are you almost watching it now because you mentioned you have a son who is a fan. Are you now watching everything with your son and sort of taking it in through his eyes in a completely new way? LILLY: A bit of both and a bit of neither. I have not seen all of it, and I do try. I see it as almost like homework. I need to know what's going on in the world. I need to understand when there's references made in scripts, I need to know what's going on. I'm also a fan of Marvel, as in I'm a fan of the filmmakers that are creating this incredible universe. I think they are the best superhero moviemakers I've ever witnessed. And I know that I'm not alone in that, so that's not a revolutionary thing to say, except that I don't actually like superhero movies. So coming from me, that's different. I think they're really smart. I think they're really, really, really good at what they do and it's why I wanted to get involved with this franchise. I never had any desire to be in the superhero movie, but Marvel do it right. They do it really well. So I'm a fan. I think WandaVision was phenomenal, and I think it was probably the best they've ever represented a female character. It was so incredible to see her be so complicated and so flawed and yet so redeemable and so lovable, the way we have typically historically treated our male characters. I think it was an epic female protagonist story. I loved, loved the ending of the Loki TV show. They didn't fully have me till the end. I was like, "Okay. Okay, sure. Yeah. Okay. Good." But I wasn't like, "Oh my God, this an amazing show," until they got to the end. And I was like, "It's chaos theory. I love it. I love it. I love it." The science geek in me loves that element of how smart they are and how they tackle such enormous topics that most kind of fluff popcorn movies are not going to tackle. They tackled chaos theory. That's really brave and really bold and really cool. So yeah, I don't watch them all. I still haven't seen my What If
? episode, which I'm dying to see, because I had so much fun making it, but I will. I'll catch up on it eventually. I still haven't seen Black Widow, but I will. I have intentions to. I haven't seen ... What's Anthony Mackie's show called? LILLY: Yes. I haven't seen Falcon and Winter Soldier yet. I will. There are so many things. But I have definitely not seen them all. WandaVision and Loki are the only TV shows I've seen from Marvel. I could just dig deep on this, but I'll just say that with Loki, I agree with you. That ending is amazing, because Jonathan Majors is telling them the truth, and it's just this great ... And he's so good in it. And he's telling them, "You might get someone a lot worse than me." You know what I mean. It's so good. LILLY: It's so good. And the fact that when we explore the two sides to chaos theory, it's two sides of the same person, is so good. Because I don't know about you, but I have both those people in me. I mean, I have that constant battle inside of me, especially right now, with the way the world is today, of like, how much do we control, and how much do we need freedom? And where is that balance? And what does that look like? And what's more important, safety or freedom? And that's what they're tackling in this show. The fact that they're tackling it in 2021 post ... well, mid pandemic, is really brave and bold. And yeah, I dig it. Look for my full interview with Evangeline Lilly this weekend.
  17. The iconic superspy has appeared in over two dozen films in the past 60 years, so watching them in the right order is a bit tricky. Ian Fleming published the first James Bond novel in 1953. The movie adaptations started rolling out nine years later when Dr. No hit cinemas in 1962, and further film exploits of England’s greatest spy have followed almost like clockwork every few years since. Diving into all of them feels like a production as big as a Bond movie itself, but we’ve got you covered. Most of the 007 films offer episodic, stand-alone adventures that require little knowledge of the previous movies to enjoy, regardless of which installment you’re watching. There’s not much continuity to keep track of, partly because the Bond films employ a floating timeline wherein James Bond moves through the decades without his character aging significantly, and partly because the series tends to at least partially reboot whenever a new actor steps into the role, only preserving a few major story points. Because of that, we think the best way to navigate the Bond series, which is now well over 20 movies deep with a new installment arriving later this year, is to group the films together according to the actor playing Bond. This is mostly the same as the films’ order by release date, albeit with a few notable exceptions that arose from legal entanglements and contract disputes. Here’s a full breakdown: James Bond Movies in Chronological Order of Events (by Era) THE SEAN CONNERY ERA Scottish actor Sean Connery was the original Bond, and many aficionados of the series still consider him to be the best. His films are largely straight-forward spy affairs with a 1960s flair, and all of them are direct adaptations of one of Fleming’s novels. Dr. No (1962) The first Bond film is not an origin story, but rather arrives with Bond already fully formed. He goes up against SPECTRE, a terrorist organization that he’ll battle on and off over the decades to come. Dr. No introduces many James Bond mainstays like M, the head of the British Secret Service, M’s secretary Miss Moneypenny, and CIA Agent Felix Leiter, a recurring Bond ally. From Russia With Love (1963) SPECTRE is out for revenge, going after Bond in retaliation for him foiling their plans in the previous film. Robert Shaw (Jaws) plays an assassin hot on Bond’s trail. Goldfinger (1964) Bond goes after the titular villain’s gold-smuggling operation, ultimately building up to a thrilling attempted heist at Fort Knox. Goldfinger is the first Bond film to have a theme song with lyrics play over the opening credits (which became a series staple), and it’s also where the series starts to solidify some of its most iconic tropes, including the idea of “Bond girls” as love interests with comically suggestive names and evil henchmen with a hyper-specific gimmick. (In Goldfinger’s case, you get the provocatively named Pussy Galore and the infamous hat-throwing bodyguard Oddjob.) Thunderball (1965) Connery’s Bond squares off against SPECTRE again, but this film is almost better known for being the focus of a messy legal dispute between Bond-film producer EON Productions, Fleming and a screenwriter Fleming had previously worked with named Kevin McClory. The lawsuit was settled out of court but will eventually lead to some Bond peculiarities down the road. You Only Live Twice (1967) A lot of things from the Connery Bonds have not aged so well, including the rampant misogyny, but Bond disguising himself as a Japanese man in You Only Live Twice might have aged the worst. Still, this movie offers the first true appearance of his longtime nemesis Ernst Stavro Blofield (played by the great Donald Pleasence), the SPECTRE leader who at this point had only been teased in previous installments. Diamonds Are Forever (1971) Connery retired from playing Bond after YOLT, but when George Lazenby, the actor who succeeded him, left after a single film, EON lured Connery back. This is yet another movie where Bond again faces off against Blofeld, who is now played by Charles Gray and is using plastic surgery to create a bunch of look-alike decoys of himself. Following Diamonds Are Forever, Connery once again stepped away from playing Bond until... Never Say Never Again (1983) Never Say Never Again is an outlier in the James Bond film universe. It wasn’t produced by EON and isn’t counted as part of the official Bond series. Instead, it’s a loose remake of Thunderball, produced by McClory who continued to hold the film rights to that movie’s screenplay. Still, if Connery is your favorite Bond and you’re a true completionist, it’s easy to argue for its inclusion as you go through the franchise. Plus, it’s the only time you get to see Old Man Bond (so far, at least). THE GEORGE LAZENBY ERA “Era” might be a strong word, as Lazenby, an Australian model and commercial actor with zero previous film credits, only appeared in one Bond film. He stepped in after Connery vacated the role following You Only Live Twice, only to be replaced by a returning Connery two years later. Lazenby’s most notable contribution to the franchise might be the fact that he’s the only non-British or Irish actor to play the character so far. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service might be even more of a stand-alone piece than normal as Lazenby would never return to the franchise. Bond again squares off against Blofeld (now played by Telly Savalas) in a trippy plot about brainwashed women who are going to unknowingly engage in biological warfare at Blofeld’s command. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is out of continuity with the Connery films – Blofeld doesn’t even recognize Bond at first – but it introduces one key concept to the ongoing Bond universe: Bond gets married 
 to Diana Rigg! Their union ends in tragedy, but Bond’s wife, Countess Tracy di Vicenzo, is occasionally referenced in later films. Image via United Artists THE ROGER MOORE ERA When Connery departed for the second time, EON recast Bond with Roger Moore, the star of the 1960s British spy TV series The Saint. The Moore Bonds are known for being lighter and more humorous than the previous installments, and they were also quick to jump on current cinematic trends. Live and Let Die (1973) Live and Let Die finds Bond on an adventure in New Orleans and the Caribbean that was partially inspired by the blaxploitation films that were popular at the time. This film also features one of the franchise’s most popular theme songs (“Live and Let Die” by PaulMcCartney) and the voodoo occultist Baron Samedi (Geoffrey Holder), one of Bond’s most iconic adversaries. The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Bond tries to track down a secret device that can weaponize solar power while avoiding a megalomaniacal assassin named Scaramanga (Christopher Lee) who has a golden bullet with Bond’s name on it. The Man with the Golden Gun also features Maud Adams as love interest Andrea Anders; Adams would go on to appear as different characters in two more Bond films starring Moore, including playing the title role in Octopussy. The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Arguably the high point of Moore’s tenure as the super spy, The Spy Who Loved Me teams Bond up with the lovely KGB agent Anya Amasova (Barbara Bach), A.K.A. Agent Triple X, as they attempt to retrieve stolen nuclear submarines. The Spy Who Loved Me is also the first appearance of the metal-mouthed henchman Jaws (Richard Kiel), possibly the most iconic Bond villain next to Blofeld. Image via United Artists Moonraker (1979) Moonraker was not-so-affectionately dubbed “Bond in Space” by fans and critics at the time of its release. Star Wars was all the rage, you see, so EON concocted a Bond film that ends with a finale aboard an orbiting Space Shuttle that’s a stretch even for Bond movies. Kiel returns as Jaws for the second and final time, exiting the franchise in an escape pod with a bottle of champagne and his new girlfriend Dolly (Blanche Ravalec). For Your Eyes Only (1981) Bond movies love winter sporting events – skiing, bobsledding, and snowboarding are all fair game in these things. For Your Eyes Only stands above the rest with a frantic chase on a biathlon course and some ice-hockey action to boot! Meanwhile, an unnamed villain clearly intended to be Blofeld is unceremoniously killed by Bond in a humiliating fashion during the pre-title sequence. (The rights to the Blofeld character were wrapped up in a legal dispute at the time, hence this impressively petty display.) Octopussy (1983) Bond’s fellow Double-O agents regularly appear or are referenced throughout the franchise. Octopussy kicks off with the death of 009 before turning into a story about stolen treasure involving a beautiful jewel smuggler (Adams) and a villainous prince (Louis Jourdan). In addition to sporting the franchise’s most suggestive title, this film is also infamous for a sequence in which Bond has to disguise himself as a clown to intercept a bomb at a circus. A View to a Kill (1985) Moore was 57 years old by the time he got to this, his final Bond film, and it shows. Still, A View to a Kill has plenty going for it, including Christopher Walken hamming it up as a genetically engineered super-villain and the final performance of Lois Maxwell as Moneypenny. (Maxwell had played the part since Dr. No.) Also, Grace Jones appears as badass Bond girl May Day. Image via MGM/UA Communications Co. THE TIMOTHY DALTON ERA With Moore departing the role, Bond producers initially turned to Pierce Brosnan to pick up the Walther PPK pistol. However, Brosnan was currently starring on the TV series Remington Steele and was unable to get out of his contract. So Timothy Dalton donned the tuxedo instead and gave Bond a gravitas that had been missing since the early Connery installments. The Living Daylights (1987) Bond is tasked with helping a former Soviet general (Jeroen KrabbĂ©) defect to the West, but soon gets tangled up in an assassination attempt and an elaborate weapons smuggling operation involving an unscrupulous American arms dealer (Joe Don Baker) and a beautiful concert cellist (Maryam d'Abo). Baker would later portray CIA agent Jack Wade in GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies. License to Kill (1989) After his longtime friend and ally Felix Leiter (David Hedison) is mutilated and left for dead by an evil drug lord named Sanchez (Robert Davi), Bond goes rogue to take down Sanchez’s entire operation from within. Along the way, he crosses switchblades with a young Benicio Del Toro and (checking my notes) 
 Las Vegas legend Wayne Newton?! THE PIERCE BROSNAN ERA Image via MGM/UA Distribution Co. After License to Kill, EON took six years to get the next movie off the ground, as well as sort out some brand new legal problems. By the time they were ready to roll, Dalton was out and Pierce Brosnan was finally free to take the role as originally intended. During Brosnan’s run, the franchise evolved into modern-day blockbusters, with bigger stunts, bigger set pieces, bigger budgets and bigger box-office grosses. GoldenEye (1995) Times had changed. The Soviet Empire had collapsed, and sexual politics had evolved past the prehistoric treatment of women in Connery’s era. GoldenEye smartly tackled these issues head-on, giving us a more modern Bond who reports to the series’ first female M, played by Judi Dench. In the film, Bond has to stop his former friend and fellow Double-O agent Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) from wiping out London with an EMP satellite. Incidentally, this is also the first Bond film not based on a Fleming novel. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) Remember newspapers? They used to be a thing. Anyway, here Bond battles a media tycoon (Jonathan Pryce) who plans to use international tensions to manufacture a war just to boost his sales and TV ratings. Michelle Yeoh also appears as a Chinese spy who teams up with Bond to prevent their nations from going to war. The World is Not Enough (1999) Bond is assigned to protect the daughter of an ex-KGB agent who literally cannot feel pain, and Denise Richards plays a nuclear physicist named Christmas Jones. The World is Not Enough is most notable for featuring the final performance of Desmond Llewelyn as Bond’s long-suffering gadget guru, Q. Llewelyn played the part in 17 total Bond films and was succeeded in this film by John Cleese’s R. Die Another Die (2002) By the time Brosnan’s final outing as Bond rolled around, things had just gotten absolutely wild. Die Another Day features a car that turns invisible, gene-therapy technology that completely changes a person’s face, and Madonna in a brief cameo as a fencing teacher. (Yes, that Madonna.) Image via Sony Pictures Releasing THE DANIEL CRAIG ERA That brings us to the current Bond era. Most Bond actors get sort of a soft reboot of the franchise when they come on board, but with Daniel Craig the franchise opted for a total reboot to start the series from scratch. (Although there are still a few holdovers, primarily Dench’s continuing presence as M.) Craig’s Bonds are largely seen as more serious spy thrillers in the vein of the Connery and Dalton installments, but they also carry over the blockbuster spectacle of the Brosnan films. Casino Royale (2006) An excellent origin story that opens with Bond earning his license to kill and ends with Bond fully becoming the character we all know and love, Casino Royale was helmed by GoldenEyedirector Martin Campbell. (Campbell is apparently the go-to guy to reinvent James Bond for a new generation of cinema.) In between, there’s a whole bunch of poker, and a deliciously villainous performance from Mads Mikkelsen as terrorist bankroller Le Chiffre. Quantum of Solace (2008) Quantum of Solace is narratively a direct sequel to Casino Royale, which is a rarity in the Bond franchise that would become the norm for Craig’s tenure in the role. Bond avenges the death of his lover Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) at the end of the previous film and investigates a SPECTRE-esque organization named Quantum. Skyfall (2012) Skyfall borrows a few elements from GoldenEye and The Dark Knight to create what is, to date, the most successful James Bond movie of all time. A deranged ex-MI6 agent named Silva (Javier Bardem) targets M (Dench) as part of a personal vendetta, with the action culminating in a cat-and-mouse game at Bond’s childhood home. Moneypenny is re-introduced as a field agent, played by Naomie Harris, who works alongside Bond. Spectre (2015) SPECTRE is back for the first time since the ignominious defeat of “Blofeld” at the beginning of For Your Eyes Only, and – surprise! – Blofeld returns too (now played by the always great Christoph Waltz). With the decades-spanning legal battles now behind them, EON pulls out all their old toys for Craig to play with, revealing that SPECTRE was secretly behind all the evil deeds of the previous three films. Bond also faces troubling revelations about his relationship to Blofeld, which makes their rivalry all the more personal. No Time to Die (2021) Craig's well-publicized final turn in the role of Bond, James Bond pits his 007 against Rami Malek's villainous Safin, a former enemy of Spectre who winds up becoming an enemy of Bond and a big bad in his own right. The Spectre connections don't end there, LĂ©a Seydoux reprises her role as Madeleine Swann, Bond's love interest from Spectre, who proves to be an enduring presence in his life. As do a lot of nanobots. James Bond Movies in Order of Release Image via United Artists If you prefer to tackle the Bond franchise in theatrical order, here are all 25 films by order of release date. Dr. No (1962) From Russia With Love (1963) Goldfinger (1964) Thunderball (1965) You Only Live Twice (1967) On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) Diamonds are Forever (1971) Live and Let Die (1973) The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Moonraker (1979) For Your Eyes Only (1981) Octopussy (1983) Never Say Never Again (1983) A View to a Kill (1985) The Living Daylights (1987) License to Kill (1989) GoldenEye (1995) Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) The World is Not Enough (1999) Die Another Day (2002) Casino Royale (2006) Quantum of Solace (2008) Skyfall (2012) Spectre (2015) No Time to Die (2021) The Future Image via MGM And, for now, that’s the complete list! Sure, you could get really crazy and watch the 1967 version of Casino Royale, a James Bond parody starring David Niven, or seek out the kid-friendly James Bond Jr. animated series from the 1990s. But, realistically, these 25 films have you covered. Now that Craig has officially wrapped up his tenure as 007, the casting process begins again, but this time in the hands of a new studio. Amazon acquired MGM in May 2021, and though the company has denied streaming or series plans for the character, between the final Craig film and a new franchise owner, there's no doubt a new era of Bond is about to begin.
  18. If you look at how the Bond series has changed over the years, we have an idea of what 'Bond 26' could look like. The James Bond franchise will never die. It's an institution at this point, and part of the secret of its longevity is its malleability. The producers behind the franchise—from original leads Albert R. Broccoli & Harry Saltzman to current overseers Barbara Broccoli & Michael G. Wilson—have always worked to keep Bond relevant in whatever way they can. Sometimes that means introspection like GoldenEye, Casino Royale, and Skyfall, but more often than not, it means imitation. If you look through the Bond franchise, especially starting with the Roger Moore movies, you can see the producers chasing trends like Blaxsploitation with Live and Let Die, kung-fu movies with The Man with the Golden Gun, hard-edged action with the Timothy Dalton movies, or something akin to the Bourne series as they move towards the Daniel Craig era. Bond doesn't lead the way as much as it looks for what's profitable, which is how as recently as Spectre you get a film trying to connect standalone Bond movies because of the success of Marvel movies. So what does this mean for James Bond going forward? No Time to Die is almost certainly the end of the Daniel Craig era. Craig has said as much with regards to this being his last outing as 007, which means the producers will need to reboot. There will be plenty of speculation over who gets to play Bond, but that's not a particularly interesting question. The question of who plays Bond doesn't matter as much as the framework that actor is put into. That framework is frequently influenced by larger filmmaking trends, and that gives us a clue of how the Bond series is going to change. Before I go any further, I want to make clear that this is just a theory. I have no inside knowledge of how EON Productions is proceeding with the Bond franchise post-Craig. This is just an educated guess based on the history of the series and how its producers seek to emulate other hits with the Bond franchise. What you can see right now in the blockbuster landscape is the legacyquel. The term, coined by Matt Singer of ScreenCrush, is when you reboot a franchise, but tie the reboot to legacy characters. So, for example, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a legacyquel. It puts new characters at the forefront who will lead the series with the implicit blessing of the previous generation of leads, who now star in a supporting capacity. Other examples of this include Creed and Terminator: Dark Fate. So what does this mean for James Bond? It means I can easily see the producers casting a much younger actor into the lead role. While Sean Connery and George Lazenby were in their early 30s for their first Bond movies, ever since the producers have skewed slightly older, going for actors in their late-30s, early-40s with Roger Moore as the outlier at 46 when he first started playing Bond. A younger actor not only allows the producers to have the same lead for a longer period of time should the casting work out, but it also helps the legacyquel plot, which is inevitably an origin story of sorts. As for the "legacy" part, you have a few options: Lazenby, Dalton, and Brosnan (Moore passed away in 2017 and Connery died in 2020; Craig has made it abundantly clear that No Time to Die is his exit from the series). Lazenby and Dalton are unlikely given their relatively short tenures as Bond (one and two films, respectively), which just leaves Brosnan, who's still got goodwill headed his way, and would probably like a chance to go out on a stronger note than the abysmal Die Another Day. The way you could handle this reboot is that "James Bond" is a codename that gets used by multiple agents. Unlike the Craig timeline, the Brosnan timeline never states that James' parents were named "Bond", so you have the opening to make Bond a codename that is handed down. From there, the plot is relatively simple as you take a young, up-and-coming agent who is trained by a seasoned veteran. Sure, that's Kingsman: The Secret Service, but I'm pretty sure the Bond franchise is not above stealing from a franchise that in turn was clearly influenced by Bond. Of course, this is just one direction the producers could go, but I wouldn't be surprised if, in whatever event, the producers choose to cast young and go for a more aggressive reboot regardless of how No Time to Die performs. Bond survives through adaptation and reinvention, and with the inevitable casting of a new 007, it will be time for Bond to be born again.
  19. The film marks the sixth collaboration of Nolan and Murphy. Universal Studios and Syncopy have announced that as previously rumored, ChristopherNolan’s next film will be Oppenheimer, about J. Robert Oppenheimer's part in developing the atomic bomb in World War II. In addition to confirming that this will be Nolan’s next project, Cillian Murphy has been announced to play the title role. The film is described as “an IMAX-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.” Oppenheimer will also be written by Nolan, produced by Emma Thomas, and is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Oppenheimer will start production in early 2022, and will be shot on IMAX 65mm and 65mm large-format film. Nolan will also be reuniting with several other previous collaborators on this project, including producer Charles Roven, Nolan’s Tenet, Dunkirk, and Interstellar director of photographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, Tenet editor Jennifer Lame, and Tenet composer Ludwig Göransson. While Murphy has been in several of Nolan’s films, including all three The Dark Knight films, Inception, and Dunkirk, the actor has never been the lead in one of Nolan’s movies. This will also be Nolan’s return to WWII after Dunkirk, which earned the director his first and only Academy Award nomination for Best Director. The announcement also states that Universal will distribute Oppenheimer theatrically worldwide. After Nolan’s disapproval of Warner Bros.’ distribution methods during the pandemic, Nolan has moved to Universal for this latest project. “Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas’ films have shattered the limits of what cinematic storytelling can achieve,” stated Universal Filmed Entertainment Group Chairman, Donna Langley. “We are thrilled to be working alongside them on this exceptional and extraordinary project and are grateful for their shared passion and commitment to the theatrical experience.” Oppenheimer will come to theaters on July 21, 2023.
  20. A small survey to see your file backup service preferences. Thing is, recently i got my Google Drive wiped out because i uploaded e-learning courses, and some porn lol . But I never shared my drive with anyone whatsoever, so there must be someone or some AI algorithm snooping in to spy on my data. Hence my distrust in Google Drive. Looking for some views on Google Drive alternative.
